Great Lakes Steward Ship Initiative Northeast Michigan

Developing strategies, implementing programs, and providing the technical assistance to protect and enhance the land and water resources of Iosco County. 

We are a local unit of state government. The Iosco Conservation District develops strategies, implements programs, and provides the technical assistance to protect and enhance the land and water resources of Iosco County.  The district strives to provide education and support to our community.  Our staff will answer your natural resource related questions and our forester and MAEAP technician will visit your land and share management advice.   We will also sponsor educational outreach events on subjects that matter to you, the land owner. 

Iosco Conservation District owns an 80 acre tract of forest that is currently under various types of management.  You are able to observe this property to see what these management styles may look like on your land.  Our hope for this area is that it will become a public recreation and education area with trails for hiking, biking and cross country skiing.
